What a fun tool! Is there a 12-step program called "Glogger's Anonymous?" I might need to enroll! What a great way to get a message across to kids OR to have them show what they've learned in a creative way. This is a program I've starred in my "favorites," and the fact that it is free makes it even better!
Using Glogger to create posters on plagiarism and copyright laws was a great way to foster learning, and I know it will motivate/facilitate greater learning in students. ISTE Standard # 1, "Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity," is definitely fulfilled using Glogger! Creating a masterpiece of information was so easy with this program; students will love how user-friendly it is! Those without artistic gifts (like me) will especially appreciate Glogger because you can easily click on a picture, move it around, and if you don't like it, simply click on the trash can. Backgrounds and different styles of print are available, along with endless choices of color. There are many special affects, too, including animation and the ability to add videos and audio clips. It is really fool-proof and fun, so both artistic and non-artistic students will enjoy using Glogger.
Glogger has really boosted my love for technology! I can feel myself getting nerdier by the minute, and I know I will use this in my classroom. I, myself, already have plans for 2 more Glogger posters as soon as I'm finished with my finals: One for my very supportive yet often neglected husband, and the other for "Parent Information Night" at Boise High, where I coach volleyball. Creating a glog will be a fun way to introduce some of our rules and expectations to our athletes and their families!
